The title mol­ecule, C11H8F3NO3, adopts a cis configuration across the –C=C– double bond in the side chain and the dihedral angle between the phenyl ring and side chain is 47.35 (1)°. The –COOH group adopts a syn conformation (O=C—O—H = 0°), unlike the anti conformation observed in related maleamic acids. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are connected via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯O inter­actions into (100) sheets, which are cross-linked by another C—H⋯O inter­action to result in a three-dimensional network. The Hirshfeld surface fingerprint plots show that the highest contribution to surface contacts arises from O⋯H/H⋯O contacts (26.5%) followed by H⋯F/F⋯H (23.4%) and H⋯H (17.3%).

The title compound, C15H15NO2, is a Schiff base that exists in the keto–enamine tautomeric form and adopts a Z configuration. The mol­ecule is almost planar, with the two phenyl rings twisted relative to each other by 9.60 (18)°. There is an intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond present forming an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link adjacent mol­ecules into inversion dimers with an R22(18) ring motif. The dimers are linked by very weak π–π inter­actions, forming layers parallel to (overline{2}01). Hirshfeld surface analysis, two-dimensional fingerprint plots and the mol­ecular electrostatic potential surfaces were used to analyse the inter­molecular inter­actions, indicating that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (55.2%), C⋯H/H⋯C (22.3%) and O⋯H/H⋯O (13.6%) inter­actions.

The title compounds, C24H22O6 (I) and C24H22O6 (II), each crystallize with half a mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. The whole mol­ecule of compound (I) is generated by twofold rotation symmetry, the twofold axis bis­ecting the central benzene ring. The whole mol­ecule of compound (II) is generated by inversion symmetry, the central benzene ring being located on an inversion center. In (I), the outer benzene rings are inclined to each other by 59.96 (10)° and by 36.74 (9)° to the central benzene ring. The corresponding dihedral angles in (II) are 0.0 and 89.87 (12)°. In the crystal of (I), mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π inter­actions, forming ribbons propagating along the [10overline{1}] direction. In the crystal of (II), mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a supra­molecular framework. The Hirshfeld surface analyses indicate that for both compounds the H⋯H contacts are the most significant, followed by O⋯H/H⋯O and C⋯H/H⋯C contacts.

The title compound, C14H12N2O4, is a Schiff base that exists in the keto–enamine tautomeric form and adopts a Z configuration. The mol­ecule is almost planar, the rings making a dihedral angle of 4.99 (7)°. The mol­ecular structure is stabilized by an intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond forming an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, inversion-related mol­ecules are linked by pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming dimers with an R22(18) ring motif. The dimers are linked by pairs of C—H⋯O contacts with an R22(10) ring motif, forming ribbons extended along the [2overline{1}0] direction. Hirshfeld surface analysis, two-dimensional fingerprint plots and the mol­ecular electrostatic potential surfaces were used to analyse the inter­molecular inter­actions present in the crystal, indicating that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (33.9%), O⋯H/H⋯O (29.8%) and C⋯H/H⋯C (17.3%) inter­actions.

The title compound, C15H13BrO2S, comprises three different substituents bound to a central (and chiral) methine-C atom, i.e. (4-bromo­phen­yl)sulfanyl, benzaldehyde and meth­oxy residues: crystal symmetry generates a racemic mixture. A twist in the mol­ecule is evident about the methine-C—C(carbon­yl) bond as evidenced by the O—C—C—O torsion angle of −20.8 (7)°. The dihedral angle between the bromo­benzene and phenyl rings is 43.2 (2)°, with the former disposed to lie over the oxygen atoms. The most prominent feature of the packing is the formation of helical supra­molecular chains as a result of methyl- and methine-C—H⋯O(carbon­yl) inter­actions. The chains assemble into a three-dimensional architecture without directional inter­actions between them. The nature of the weak points of contacts has been probed by a combination of Hirshfeld surface analysis, non-covalent inter­action plots and inter­action energy calculations. These point to the importance of weaker H⋯H and C—H⋯C inter­actions in the consolidation of the structure.

In the title compound, C61H15ClN2O3, the heterocyclic ring adopts an envelope conformation, folded across the N⋯N line, with the 2,5-di­meth­oxy­phenyl unit occupying a quasi-axial site. There are two N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds in the structure: one hydrogen bond links mol­ecules related by a 41 screw axis to form a C(6) chain, and the other links inversion-related pairs of mol­ecules to form an R22(8) ring. The ring motif links all of the chains into a continuous three-dimensional framework structure. Comparisons are made with the structures of some related compounds.

The title compound, C9H11NO2, was obtained as unexpected product from the reaction of (4-{2-benz­yloxy-5-[(E)-(3-chloro-4-methyl­phen­yl)diazen­yl]benzyl­idene}-2-phenyl­oxazol-5(4H)-one) with 2-meth­oxy­aniline in the presence of acetic acid as solvent. The amide group is not coplanar with the benzene ring, as shown by the C—N—C—O and C—N—C—C torsion angles of −2.5 (3) and 176.54 (19)°, respectively. Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots indicate that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯H (53.9%), C⋯H/H⋯C (21.4%), O⋯H/H⋯O (21.4%) and N⋯H/H⋯N (1.7%) inter­actions.

The title compound, C13H24O9·H2O, a structural model for part of bacterial O-anti­gen polysaccharides from Shigella flexneri and Escherichia coli, crystallizes with four independent disaccharide mol­ecules and four water mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. The conformation at the glycosidic linkage joining the two rhamnosyl residues is described by the torsion angles φH of 39, 30, 37 and 37°, and ψH of −32, −35, −31 and −32°, which are the major conformation region known to be populated in an aqueous solution. The hexo­pyran­ose rings have the 1C4 chair conformation. In the crystal, the disaccharide and water mol­ecules are associated through O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a layer parallel to the bc plane. The layers stack along the a axis via hydro­phobic inter­actions between the methyl groups.

The title binuclear CoIII complex, [Co2(C9H8BrNOS)2(C18H16Br2N2O2S2)]·C3H7NO, with a Schiff base ligand formed in situ from cyste­amine (2-amino­ethane­thiol) and 5-bromo­salicyl­aldehyde crystallizes in the space group P21. It was found that during the synthesis the ligand undergoes spontaneous oxidation, forming the new ligand H2L' having an S—S bond. Thus, the asymmetric unit consists of one Co2(L)2(L') mol­ecule and one DMF solvent mol­ecule. Each CoIII ion has a slightly distorted octa­hedral S2N2O2 coordination geometry. In the crystal, the components are linked into a three-dimensional network by several S⋯ Br, C⋯ Br, C—H⋯Br, short S⋯C (essentially shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii for the atoms involved) contacts as well by weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The crystal studied was refined as an inversion twin.

The title compound (systematic name: bis­{2-[4-(acet­yloxy)-1H-indol-3-yl]ethan-1-aminium} but-2-enedioate), 2C14H19N2O2+·C4H2O42−, has a single protonated psilacetin cation and one half of a fumarate dianion in the asymmetric unit. There are N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the ammonium H atoms and the fumarate O atoms, as well as N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the indole H atoms and the fumarate O atoms. The hydrogen bonds hold the ions together in infinite one-dimensional chains along [111].

The title benzo­furan derivatives 2-amino-5-hy­droxy-4-(4-nitro­phen­yl)benzo­furan-3-carboxyl­ate (BF1), C19H18N2O6, and 2-meth­oxy­ethyl 2-amino-5-hy­droxy-4-(4-nitro­phen­yl)benzo­furan-3-carboxyl­ate (BF2), C18H16N2O7, recently attracted attention because of their promising anti­tumoral activity. BF1 crystallizes in the space group Poverline{1}. BF2 in the space group P21/c. The nitro­phenyl group is inclined to benzo­furan moiety with a dihedral angle between their mean planes of 69.2 (2)° in BF1 and 60.20 (6)° in BF2. A common feature in the mol­ecular structures of BF1 and BF2 is the intra­molecular N—H⋯Ocarbon­yl hydrogen bond. In the crystal of BF1, the mol­ecules are linked head-to-tail into a one-dimensional hydrogen-bonding pattern along the a-axis direction. In BF2, pairs of head-to-tail hydrogen-bonded chains of mol­ecules along the b-axis direction are linked by O—H⋯Ometh­oxy hydrogen bonds. In BF1, the butyl group is disordered over two orientations with occupancies of 0.557 (13) and 0.443 (13).

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ni(C52H34Cl4N4O4)]·CH2Cl2, consists of two discrete complexes, which show significant differences in the conformation of the side chain. Each NiII cation is coordinated by four nitro­gen atoms of a porphyrin mol­ecule within a square-planar coordination environment. Weak intra­molecular C—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯O inter­actions stabilize the mol­ecular conformation. In the crystal structure, discrete complexes are linked by C—H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonding inter­actions. In addition, the two unique di­chloro­methane solvate mol­ecules (one being disordered) are hydrogen-bonded to the Cl atoms of the chloro­phenyl groups of the porphyrin mol­ecules, thus stabilizing the three-dimensional arrangement. The crystal exhibits pseudo-ortho­rhom­bic metrics, but structure refinements clearly show that the crystal system is monoclinic and that the crystal is twinned by pseudo-merohedry.

In the title compound, C20H18NO3P, the C=O and P=O groups of the carbacyl­amido­phosphate (CAPh) fragments are located in a synclinal position relative to each other and are pre-organized for bidentate chelate coordination of metal ions. The N—H group is involved in the formation of an intra­molecular hydrogen bond. In the crystal, mol­ecules do not form strong inter­molecular inter­actions but the mol­ecules are linked via weak C—H⋯π inter­actions, forming chains along [001].

A new quinoline-based hydrazone, C16H12ClN3, was synthesized by a condensation reaction of 2-chloro-3-formyl­quinoline with phenyl­hydrazine. The quinoline ring system is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.012 Å), and forms a dihedral angle of 8.46 (10)° with the phenyl ring. The mol­ecule adopts an E configuration with respect to the central C=N bond. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by a C—H⋯π-phenyl inter­action, forming zigzag chains propagating along the [10overline{3}] direction. The N—H hydrogen atom does not participate in hydrogen bonding but is directed towards the phenyl ring of an adjacent mol­ecule, so linking the chains via weak N—H⋯π inter­actions to form of a three-dimensional structure. The Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯H (35.5%), C⋯H/H⋯C (33.7%), Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl (12.3%), N⋯H/H⋯N (9.5%) contacts.

In the title compound, the asymmetric unit comprises an N,N,N-trimethyl-1-(4-vinyl­phen­yl)methanaminium cation and a 4-vinyl­benzene­sulfonate anion, C12H18N+·C8H7O3S−. The salt has a polymerizable vinyl group attached to both the cation and the anion. The methanaminium and vinyl substituents on the benzene ring of the cation subtend angles of 86.6 (3) and 10.5 (9)° to the ring plane, while the anion is planar excluding the sulfonate O atoms. The vinyl substituent on the benzene ring of the cation is disordered over two sites with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.542 (11):0.458 (11). In the crystal, C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds dominate the packing and combine with a C—H⋯π(ring) contact to stack the cations and anions along the a-axis direction. Hirshfeld surface analysis of the salt and of the individual cation and anion components is also reported.

The mol­ecular structure of the title compound, C17H14ClFO3, consists of a 4-chloro-3-fluoro­phenyl ring and a 3,4-di­meth­oxy­phenyl ring linked via a prop-2-en-1-one spacer. The mol­ecule has an E configuration about the C=C bond and the carbonyl group is syn with respect to the C=C bond. The F and H atoms at the meta positions of the 4-chloro-3-fluoro­phenyl ring are disordered over two orientations, with an occupancy ratio of 0.785 (3):0.215 (3). In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked via pairs of C—H⋯O inter­actions with an R22(14) ring motif, forming inversion dimers. The dimers are linked into a tape structure running along [10overline{1}] by a C—H⋯π inter­action. The inter­molecular contacts in the crystal were further analysed using Hirshfield surface analysis, which indicates that the most significant contacts are H⋯H (25.0%), followed by C⋯H/H⋯C (20.6%), O⋯H/H⋯O (15.6%), Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl (10.7%), F⋯H/H⋯F (10.4%), F⋯C/C⋯F (7.2%) and C⋯C (3.0%).

The title compound, C22H22N2O4S2, was synthesized by the reaction of 1,4,5,8-naphthalene­tetra­carb­oxy­lic dianhydride with 3-(methyl­sulfan­yl)propyl­amine. The whole mol­ecule is generated by an inversion operation of the asymmetric unit. This mol­ecule has an anti form with the terminal methyl­thio­propyl groups above and below the aromatic di­imide plane, where four intra­molecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯S hydrogen bonds are present and the O⋯H⋯S angle is 100.8°. DFT calculations revealed slight differences between the solid state and gas phase structures. In the crystal, C—H⋯O and C—H⋯S hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into chains along the [2overline20] direction. adjacent chains are inter­connected by π–π inter­actions, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to the (001) plane. Each two-dimensional layer is further packed in an ABAB sequence along the c-axis direction. Hirshfeld surface analysis shows that van der Waals inter­actions make important contributions to the inter­molecular contacts. The most important contacts found in the Hirshfeld surface analysis are H⋯H (44.2%), H⋯O/O⋯H (18.2%), H⋯C/C⋯H (14.4%), and H⋯S/S⋯H (10.2%).

Typical electroless copper baths (ECBs), which are used to chemically deposit copper on printed circuit boards, consist of an aqueous alkali hydroxide solution, a copper(II) salt, formaldehyde as reducing agent, an l-(+)-tartrate as complexing agent, and a 2,2'-bi­pyridine derivative as stabilizer. Actual speciation and reactivity are, however, largely unknown. Herein, we report on the synthesis and crystal structure of aqua-1κO-bis­(4,4'-dimeth­oxy-2,2'-bi­pyri­dine)-1κ2N,N';2κ2N,N'-[μ-(2R,3R)-2,3-dioxidosuccinato-1κ2O1,O2:2κ2O3,O4]dicopper(II) octa­hydrate, [Cu2(C12H12N2O2)2(C4H2O6)(H2O)]·8H2O, from an ECB mock-up. The title compound crystallizes in the Sohncke group P21 with one chiral dinuclear complex and eight mol­ecules of hydrate water in the asymmetric unit. The expected retention of the tartrato ligand's absolute configuration was confirmed via determination of the absolute structure. The complex mol­ecules exhibit an ansa-like structure with two planar, nearly parallel bi­pyridine ligands, each bound to a copper atom that is connected to the other by a bridging tartrato `handle'. The complex and water mol­ecules give rise to a layered supra­molecular structure dominated by alternating π stacks and hydrogen bonds. The understanding of structures ex situ is a first step on the way to prolonged stability and improved coating behavior of ECBs.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C15H12N2O2, contains two crystallographically independent mol­ecules in which the dihedral angles between the benzene rings in each are 13.26 (5) and 7.87 (5)°. An intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds results in the formation of an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to (011). In addition, π–π stacking inter­actions with centroid–centroid distances in the range 3.693 (2)–3.931 (2) Å complete the three-dimensional network.

Two bis-carbamoyl­methyl­phosphine oxide compounds, namely {[(3-{[2-(di­phen­yl­phosphino­yl)ethanamido]­meth­yl}benz­yl)carbamo­yl]meth­yl}di­phenyl­phos­phine oxide, C36H34N2O4P2, (I), and diethyl [({2-[2-(di­eth­oxy­phosphino­yl)ethanamido]­eth­yl}carbamo­yl)meth­yl]phospho­nate, C14H30N2O8P2, (II), were synthesized via nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions between an ester and a primary amine. Hydrogen-bonding inter­actions are present in both crystals, but these inter­actions are intra­molecular in the case of compound (I) and inter­molecular in compound (II). Intra­molecular π–π stacking inter­actions are also present in the crystal of compound (I) with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.9479 (12) Å and a dihedral angle of 9.56 (12)°. Inter­molecular C—H⋯π inter­actions [C⋯centroid distance of 3.622 (2) Å, C—H⋯centroid angle of 146°] give rise to supra­molecular sheets that lie in the ab plane. Key geometric features for compound (I) involve a nearly planar, trans-amide group with a C—N—C—C torsion angle of 169.12 (17)°, and a torsion angle of −108.39 (15)° between the phosphine oxide phospho­rus atom and the amide nitro­gen atom. For compound (II), the electron density corresponding to the phosphoryl group was disordered, and was modeled as two parts with a 0.7387 (19):0.2613 (19) occupancy ratio. Compound (II) also boasts a trans-amide group that approaches planarity with a C—N—C—C torsion angle of −176.50 (16)°. The hydrogen bonds in this structure are inter­molecular, with a D⋯A distance of 2.883 (2) Å and a D—H⋯A angle of 175.0 (18)° between the amide hydrogen atom and the P=O oxygen atom. These non-covalent inter­actions create ribbons that run along the b-axis direction.

The structures of two isomers of the title compound, [RuCl2(C14H12N4)(C2H6OS)2], 2 and 3, are reported. Isomers 2 and 3 are produced by reaction of the pyridyl­triazole ligand 1-benzyl-4-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole (bpt) (1) with fac-[RuCl2(DMSO-S)3(DMSO-O)]. Reaction in acetone produces ca 95% 2, which is the OC-6-14 isomer, with cis DMSO and trans chlorido ligands, and 5% 3 (the OC-6-32 isomer, with cis DMSO and cis chlorido ligands, and the pyridyl moiety of bpt trans to DMSO). Reaction in refluxing toluene initially forms 2, which slowly isomerizes to 3.

The asymmetric units of the title compounds, trans-di­aqua­(3-benzyl-1,3,5,8,12-penta­aza­cyclo­tetra­decane-κ4N1,N5,N8,N12)copper(II) isophthalate monohydrate, [Cu(C16H29N5)(H2O)2](C8H4O4)·H2O, (I), and trans-di­aqua­[3-(pyridin-3-ylmeth­yl)-1,3,5,8,12-penta­aza­cyclo­tetra­decane-κ4N1,N5,N8,N12]copper(II) iso­phthalate 0.9-hydrate, [Cu(C15H28N6)(H2O)2](C8H4O4)·0.9H2O, (II) consist of one di­aqua macrocyclic cation, one di­carboxyl­ate anion and uncoordinated water mol­ecule(s). In each compound, the metal ion is coordinated by the four secondary N atoms of the macrocyclic ligand and the mutually trans O atoms of the water mol­ecules in a tetra­gonally distorted octa­hedral geometry. The average equatorial Cu—N bond lengths are significantly shorter than the average axial Cu—O bond lengths [2.020 (9) versus 2.495 (12) Å and 2.015 (4) versus 2.507 (7) Å for (I) and (II), respectively]. The coordinated macrocyclic ligand in the cations of both compounds adopts the most energetically favorable trans-III conformation. In the crystals, the complex cations and counter-anions are connected via hydrogen-bonding inter­actions between the N—H groups of the macrocycles and the O—H groups of coordinated water mol­ecules as the proton donors and the O atoms of the carboxyl­ate as the proton acceptors. Additionally, as a result of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding with the coordinated and water mol­ecules of crystallization, the isophthalate dianions form layers lying parallel to the (overline{1}01) and (100) planes in (I) and (II), respectively.

From solutions of prehnitene and the ternary halides (SnCl)[MCl4] (M = Al, Ga) in chloro­benzene, the new cationic SnII–π-arene complexes catena-poly[[chlorido­aluminate(III)]-tri-μ-chlorido-4':1κ2Cl,1:2κ4Cl-[(η6-1,2,3,4-tetra­meth­yl­benzene)­tin(II)]-di-μ-chlorido-2:3κ4Cl-[(η6-1,2,3,4-tetra­methyl­benzene)­tin(II)]-di-μ-chlorido-3:4κ4Cl-[chlorido­aluminate(III)]-μ-chlorido-4:1'κ2Cl], [Al2Sn2Cl10(C10H14)2]n, (1) and catena-poly[[chlorido­gallate(III)]-tri-μ-chlor­ido-4':1κ2Cl,1:2κ4Cl-[(η6-1,2,3,4-tetra­methyl­benzene)­tin(II)]-di-μ-chlorido-2:3κ4Cl-[(η6-1,2,3,4-tetra­methyl­benzene)­tin(II)]-di-μ-chlorido-3:4κ4Cl-[chlor­ido­gallate(III)]-μ-chlorido-4:1'κ2Cl], [Ga2Sn2Cl10(C10H14)2]n, (2), were isolated. In these first main-group metal–prehnitene complexes, the distorted η6 arene π-bonding to the tin atoms of the Sn2Cl22+ moieties in the centre of [{1,2,3,4-(CH3)4C6H2}2Sn2Cl2][MCl4]2 repeating units (site symmetry overline{1}) is characterized by: (i) a significant ring slippage of ca 0.4 Å indicated by the dispersion of Sn—C distances [1: 2.881 (2)–3.216 (2) Å; 2: 2.891 (3)–3.214 (3) Å]; (ii) the non-methyl-substituted arene C atoms positioned closest to the SnII central atom; (iii) a pronounced tilt of the plane of the arene ligand against the plane of the central (Sn2Cl2)2+ four-membered ring species [1: 15.59 (11)°, 2: 15.69 (9)°]; (iv) metal–arene bonding of medium strength as illustrated by application of the bond-valence method in an indirect manner, defining the π-arene bonding inter­action of the SnII central atoms as s(SnII—arene) = 2 − Σs(SnII—Cl), that gives s(SnII—arene) = 0.37 and 0.38 valence units for the aluminate and the gallate, respectively, indicating that comparatively strong main-group metal–arene bonding is present and in line with the expectation that [AlCl4]− is the slightly weaker coordinating anion as compared to [GaCl4]−.

The title tetra­nuclear copper complex, [Cu4Cl6O(C6H9N3O3)4] or [Cu4Cl6O­(MET)4] [MET is 1-(2-hy­droxy­eth­yl)-2-methyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazole or metronidazole], contains a tetra­hedral arrangement of copper(II) ions. Each copper atom is also linked to the other three copper atoms in the tetra­hedron via bridging chloride ions. A fifth coordination position on each metal atom is occupied by a nitro­gen atom of the monodentate MET ligand. The result is a distorted CuCl3NO trigonal–bipyramidal coordination polyhedron with the axial positions occupied by oxygen and nitro­gen atoms. The extended structure displays O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding, as well as unusual short O⋯N inter­actions [2.775 (4) Å] between the nitro groups of adjacent clusters that are oriented perpendicular to each other. The scattering contribution of disordered water and methanol solvent mol­ecules was removed using the SQUEEZE procedure [Spek (2015). Acta Cryst. C71, 9–16] in PLATON [Spek (2009). Acta Cryst. D65, 148–155].

Reductive cyclization of 1,3,5-triphenyl- and 3-(2-meth­oxy­phen­yl)-1,5-di­phenyl­pentane-1,5-diones by zinc in acetic acid medium leads to the formation of 1,2,4-tri­phenyl­cyclo­pentane-1,2-diol [1,2,4-Ph3C5H5-1,2-(OH)2, C23H22O2, (I)] and 4-(2-meth­oxy­phen­yl)-1,2-di­phenyl­cyclo­pentane-1,2-diol [4-(2-MeOC6H4)-1,2-Ph2C5H5-1,2-(OH)2, C24H24O3, (II)]. Their single crystals have been obtained by crystallization from a THF/hexane solvent mixture. Diols (I) and (II) crystallize in ortho­rhom­bic (Pbca) and triclinic (Poverline{1}) space groups, respectively, at 150 K. Their asymmetric units comprise one [in the case of (I)] and three [in the case of (II)] crystallographically independent mol­ecules of the achiral (1R,2S,4r)-diol isomer. Each hydroxyl group is involved in one intra­molecular and one inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond, forming one-dimensional chains. Compounds (I) and (II) have been used successfully as precatalyst activators for the ring-opening polymerization of ∊-caprolactone.

The title mol­ecule crystallizes as a di­methyl­formamide monosolvate, C19H14N2O6S2·C3H7NO. The mol­ecule was expected to adopt mirror symmetry but slightly different conformational characteristics of the condensed benzo­thia­zine ring lead to point group symmetry 1. In the crystal, mol­ecules form two types of stacking dimers with distances of 3.464 (2) Å and 3.528 (2) Å between π-systems. As a result, columns extending parallel to [100] are formed, which are connected to inter­mediate di­methyl­formamide solvent mol­ecules by C—H⋯O inter­actions.

Two CuII complexes [Cu(C14H13N4O2)Cl]n, I, and [Cu4(C8H10NO2)4Cl4]n, II, have been synthesized. In the structure of the mononuclear complex I, each ligand is coordinated to two metal centers. The basal plane around the CuII cation is formed by one chloride anion, one oxygen atom, one imino and one pyridine nitro­gen atom. The apical position of the distorted square-pyramidal geometry is occupied by a pyridine nitro­gen atom from a neighbouring unit, leading to infinite one-dimensional polymeric chains along the b-axis direction. Each chain is connected to adjacent chains by inter­molecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Cl inter­actions, leading to a three-dimensional network structure. The tetra­nuclear complex II lies about a crystallographic inversion centre and has one core in which two CuII metal centers are mutually inter­connected via two enolato oxygen atoms while the other two CuII cations are linked by a chloride anion and an enolato oxygen. An open-cube structure is generated in which the two open-cube units, with seven vertices each, share a side composed of two CuII ions bridged by two enolato oxygen atoms acting in a μ3-mode. The CuII atoms in each of the two CuO3NCl units are connected by one μ2-O and two μ3-O atoms from deprotonated hydroxyl groups and one chloride anion to the three other CuII centres. Each of the penta­coordinated CuII cations has a distorted NO3Cl square-pyramidal environment. The CuII atoms in each of the two CuO2NCl2 units are connected by μ2-O and μ3-O atoms from deprotonated alcohol hy­droxy groups and one chloride anion to two other CuII ions. Each of the penta­coordinated CuII cations has a distorted NO2Cl2 square-pyramidal environment. In the crystal, a series of intra­molecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds are observed in each tetra­nuclear monomeric unit, which is connected to four tetra­nuclear monomeric units by inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, thus forming a planar two-dimensional structure in the (overline{1}01) plane.

In each of the two independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, [CdI2(C18H14N4O)], the N,O,N'-tridentate N'-[(E)-(phen­yl)(pyridin-2-yl-κN)methyl­idene]pyridine-2-carbohydrazide ligand and two iodide anions form an I2N2O penta­coordination sphere, with a distorted square-pyramidal geometry, with an I atom in the apical position. Both mol­ecules feature an intra­molecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bond. In the crystal, weak aromatic π–π stacking inter­actions [centroid–centroid separation = 3.830 (2) Å] link the mol­ecules into dimers.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C15H21N3OS, comprises of two crystallographically independent mol­ecules (A and B). Each mol­ecule consists of a cyclo­hexane ring and a 2-hy­droxy-3-methyl­benzyl­idene ring bridged by a hydrazinecarbo­thio­amine unit. Both mol­ecules exhibit an E configuration with respect to the azomethine C=N bond. There is an intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond in each mol­ecule forming an S(6) ring motif. The cyclo­hexane ring in each mol­ecule has a chair conformation. The benzene ring is inclined to the mean plane of the cyclo­hexane ring by 47.75 (9)° in mol­ecule A and 66.99 (9)° in mol­ecule B. The mean plane of the cyclo­hexane ring is inclined to the mean plane of the thio­urea moiety [N—C(=S)—N] by 55.69 (9) and 58.50 (8)° in mol­ecules A and B, respectively. In the crystal, the A and B mol­ecules are linked by N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming `dimers'. The A mol­ecules are further linked by a C—H⋯π inter­action, hence linking the A–B units to form ribbons propagating along the b-axis direction. The conformation of a number of related cyclo­hexa­nehydrazinecarbo­thio­amides are compared to that of the title compound.

The title compound, C31H30N2S2O6, possesses crystallographically imposed twofold symmetry with the two C atoms of the central benzene ring and the C atom of its methyl substituent lying on the twofold rotation axis. The two dansyl groups are twisted away from the plane of methyl­phenyl bridging unit in opposite directions. The three-dimensional arrangement in the crystal is mainly stabilized by weak hydrogen bonds between the sulfonyl oxygen atoms and the hydrogen atoms from the N-methyl groups. Stacking of the dansyl group is not observed. From the DFT calculations, the HOMO–LUMO energy gap was found to be 2.99 eV and indicates n→π* and π→π* transitions within the mol­ecule.

The title compound, C11H8O5·(CH3)2SO, is a new coumarin derivative. The asymmetric unit contains two coumarin mol­ecules (A and B) and two di­methyl­sulfoxide solvent mol­ecules (A and B). The dihedral angle between the pyran and benzene rings in the chromene moiety is 3.56 (2)° for mol­ecule A and 1.83 (2)° for mol­ecule B. In mol­ecule A, the dimethyl sulfoxide sulfur atom is disordered over two positions with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.782 (5):0.218 (5). In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains running along the c-axis direction. The chains are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the ac plane. In addition, there are also C—H⋯π and π–π inter­actions present within the layers. The inter­molecular contacts in the crystal have been analysed using Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots, which indicate that the most important contributions to the packing are from H⋯H (33.9%) and O⋯H/H⋯O (41.2%) contacts.

The title compounds, 8-amino-6-methyl-3,4-diphenyl-1H-isochromen-1-one, C22H17NO2, (I), and 8-amino-3,4-diethyl-6-methyl-1H-isochromen-1-one, C14H17NO2, (II), are new isocoumarin derivatives in which the isochromene ring systems are planar. Compound II crystallizes with two independent mol­ecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. In I, the two phenyl rings are inclined to each other by 56.41 (7)° and to the mean plane of the 1H-isochromene ring system by 67.64 (6) and 44.92 (6)°. In both compounds, there is an intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond present forming an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal of I, mol­ecules are linked by N—H⋯π inter­actions, forming chains along the b-axis direction. A C—H⋯π inter­action links the chains to form layers parallel to (100). The layers are then linked by a second C—H⋯π inter­action, forming a three-dimensional structure. In the crystal of II, the two independent mol­ecules (A and B) are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming –A–B–A–B– chains along the [101] direction. The chains are linked into ribbons by C—H⋯π inter­actions involving inversion-related A mol­ecules. The latter are linked by offset π–π inter­actions [inter­centroid distances vary from 3.506 (1) to 3.870 (2) Å], forming a three-dimensional structure.

The title compound, 2-(methyl­amino)­cyclo­hepta-2,4,6-trien-1-one, C8H9NO, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c, with three independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. The planarity of the mol­ecules is indicated by planes fitted through the seven ring carbon atoms. Small deviations from the planes, with an extremal r.m.s. deviation of 0.0345 Å, are present. In complexes of transition metals with similar ligands, the large planar seven-membered aromatic rings have shown to improve the stability of the complex. Two types of hydrogen-bonding inter­actions, C—H⋯O and N—H⋯O, are observed, as well as bifurcation of these inter­actions. The N—H⋯O inter­actions link mol­ecules to form infinite chains. The packing of mol­ecules in the unit cell shows a pattern of overlapping aromatic rings, forming column-like formations. π–π inter­actions are observed between the overlapping aromatic rings at 3.4462 (19) Å from each other.

Phenanthroline ligands are important metal-binding mol­ecules which have been extensively researched for applications in both material science and medicinal chemistry. Azo­benzene and its derivatives have received significant attention because of their ability to be reversibly switched between the E and Z forms and so could have applications in optical memory and logic devices or as mol­ecular machines. Herein we report the formation and crystal structure of a highly unusual novel diazo-diphenanthroline compound, C24H14N6O2·2CHCl3.

The asymmetric unit of the title 1:1 solvate, C14H14N4O2·C6H6 [systematic name of the oxalamide mol­ecule: N,N'-bis­(pyridin-4-ylmeth­yl)ethanedi­amide], comprises a half mol­ecule of each constituent as each is disposed about a centre of inversion. In the oxalamide mol­ecule, the central C2N2O2 atoms are planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0006 Å). An intra­molecular amide-N—H⋯O(amide) hydrogen bond is evident, which gives rise to an S(5) loop. Overall, the mol­ecule adopts an anti­periplanar disposition of the pyridyl rings, and an orthogonal relationship is evident between the central plane and each terminal pyridyl ring [dihedral angle = 86.89 (3)°]. In the crystal, supra­molecular layers parallel to (10overline{2}) are generated owing the formation of amide-N—H⋯N(pyrid­yl) hydrogen bonds. The layers stack encompassing benzene mol­ecules which provide the links between layers via methyl­ene-C—H⋯π(benzene) and benzene-C—H⋯π(pyrid­yl) inter­actions. The specified contacts are indicated in an analysis of the calculated Hirshfeld surfaces. The energy of stabilization provided by the conventional hydrogen bonding (approximately 40 kJ mol−1; electrostatic forces) is just over double that by the C—H⋯π contacts (dispersion forces).

In the title compound, C16H11Cl2N3O, the 4-meth­oxy-substituted benzene ring makes a dihedral angle of 41.86 (9)° with the benzene ring of the benzo­nitrile group. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked into layers parallel to (020) by C—H⋯O contacts and face-to-face π–π stacking inter­actions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.9116 (14) and 3.9118 (14) Å] between symmetry-related aromatic rings along the a-axis direction. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl (22.8%), H⋯H (21.4%), N⋯H/H⋯N (16.1%), C⋯H/H⋯C (14.7%) and C⋯C (9.1%) inter­actions.

The syntheses and crystal structures of the title compounds, C14H8F4N2O2 and C14H8F4N2O3, are reported. In each crystal, the packing is driven by C—H⋯F inter­tactions, along with a variety of C—H⋯O, C—O⋯π, and C—F⋯π contacts. Hirshfeld surface analysis was conducted to aid in the visualization of these various influences on the packing: they showed that the largest contributions to the surface contacts arise from H⋯F/F⋯H inter­actions, followed by H⋯H and O⋯H/H⋯O.

In the title compound, C27H30N4O6·H2O, the two dioxolo rings are in envelope conformations, while the pyran ring is in a twisted-boat conformation. The pyradizine ring is oriented at dihedral angles of 9.23 (6) and 12.98 (9)° with respect to the pyridine rings, while the dihedral angle between the two pyridine rings is 13.45 (10)°. In the crystal, O—Hwater⋯Opyran, O—Hwater⋯Ometh­oxy­meth­yl and O—Hwater⋯Npyridazine hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into chains along [010]. In addition, weak C—Hdioxolo⋯Odioxolo hydrogen bonds and a weak C—Hmeth­oxy­meth­yl⋯π inter­action complete the three-dimensional structure. The Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (55.7%), H⋯C/C⋯H (14.6%), H⋯O/O⋯H (14.5%) and H⋯N/N⋯H (9.6%) inter­actions. Hydrogen-bonding and van der Waals inter­actions are the dominant inter­actions in the crystal packing. Electrochemical measurements are also reported.

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Ni(C63H31F10N5S2)]·xCH2Cl2 (x > 1/2), consists of Ni–porphyrin complexes that are located in general positions and di­chloro­methane solvent mol­ecules that are disordered around centers of inversion. The NiII ions are in a square-pyramidal (CN5) coordination, with four porphyrin N atoms in the equatorial and a pyridine N atom in the apical position and are shifted out of the porphyrine N4 plane towards the coordinating pyridine N atom. The pyridine substituent is not exactly perpendicular to the N4 plane with an angle of inter­section between the planes planes of 80.48 (6)°. The di­chloro­methane solvent mol­ecules are hydrogen bonded to one of the four porphyrine N atoms. Two complexes are linked into dimers by two symmetry-equivalent C—H⋯S hydrogen bonds. These dimers are closely packed, leading to cavities in which additional di­chloro­methane solvent mol­ecules are embedded. These solvent mol­ecules are disordered and because no reasonable split model was found, the data were corrected for disordered solvent using the PLATON SQUEEZE routine [Spek (2015). Acta Cryst. C71, 9–18].

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C12H22N+·CH3O3S−, consists of three (3,5-di­methyl­adamantan-1-yl)ammonium cations, C12H22N+, and three methane­sulfonate anions, CH3O3S−. In the crystal, the cations and anions associate via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into layers, parallel to the (001) plane, which include large supra­molecular hydrogen-bonded rings.

The di-substituted acetyl­ene residue in the title compound, C11H11NO3, is capped at either end by di-methyl­hydroxy and 4-nitro­benzene groups; the nitro substituent is close to co-planar with the ring to which it is attached [dihedral angle = 9.4 (3)°]. The most prominent feature of the mol­ecular packing is the formation, via hy­droxy-O—H⋯O(hy­droxy) hydrogen bonds, of hexa­meric clusters about a site of symmetry overline{3}. The aggregates are sustained by 12-membered {⋯OH}6 synthons and have the shape of a flattened chair. The clusters are connected into a three-dimensional architecture by benzene-C—H⋯O(nitro) inter­actions, involving both nitro-O atoms. The aforementioned inter­actions are readily identified in the calculated Hirshfeld surface. Computational chemistry indicates there is a significant energy, primarily electrostatic in nature, associated with the hy­droxy-O—H⋯O(hy­droxy) hydrogen bonds. Dispersion forces are more important in the other identified but, weaker inter­molecular contacts.

The reaction of 2-methyl­thio-5-amino-1,3,4-thia­diazole (Me-SNTD; C3H5N3S2) with copper(II) acetate monohydrate [Cu(OAc)2·H2O; C4H8CuO5] resulted in the formation of the title binuclear compound, [Cu2(C2H3O2)4(C3H5N3S2)2] or [Cu2(OAc)4(Me-SNTD)2]. The structure has triclinic (P overline{1}) symmetry with a crystallographic inversion centre located at the midpoint of the line connecting the Cu atoms in the dimer. These two Cu atoms of the dimer [Cu⋯Cu = 2.6727 (6) Å] are held together by four carboxyl­ate groups. Each Cu atom is further coordinated to the N atom of an Me-SNTD mol­ecule and exhibits a Jahn–Teller-distorted octa­hedral geometry. The dimers are connected into infinite chains by hydrogen bonds between the NH (Me-SNTD) and the carboxyl­ate groups of neighbouring mol­ecules, generating an R22(12) ring motif. The mol­ecules are further linked by C—H⋯π inter­actions between the thia­diazole rings and the methyl groups of the acetate units.

Six new 1-aroyl-4-(4-meth­oxy­phen­yl)piperazines have been prepared, using coupling reactions between benzoic acids and N-(4-meth­oxy­phen­yl)piperazine. There are no significant hydrogen bonds in the structure of 1-benzoyl-4-(4-meth­oxy­phen­yl)piperazine, C18H20N2O2, (I). The mol­ecules of 1-(2-fluoro­benzo­yl)-4-(4-meth­oxy­phen­yl)piperazine, C18H19FN2O2, (II), are linked by two C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form chains of rings, which are linked into sheets by an aromatic π–π stacking inter­action. 1-(2-Chloro­benzo­yl)-4-(4-meth­oxy­phen­yl)piperazine, C18H19ClN2O2, (III), 1-(2-bromo­benzo­yl)-4-(4-meth­oxy­phen­yl)piperazine, C18H19BrN2O2, (IV), and 1-(2-iodo­benzo­yl)-4-(4-meth­oxyphen­yl)piperazine, C18H19IN2O2, (V), are isomorphous, but in (III) the aroyl ring is disordered over two sets of atomic sites having occupancies of 0.942 (2) and 0.058 (2). In each of (III)–(V), a combination of two C—H⋯π(arene) hydrogen bonds links the mol­ecules into sheets. A single O—H⋯O hydrogen bond links the mol­ecules of 1-(2-hy­droxy­benzo­yl)-4-(4-meth­oxy­phen­yl)piperazine, C18H20N2O3, (VI), into simple chains. Comparisons are made with the structures of some related compounds.

In the title di­thio­glycoluril derivative, C19H20N4O3S2, there is a difference in the torsion angles between the thio­imidazole moiety and the meth­oxy­phenyl groups on either side of the mol­ecule [C—N—Car—Car = 116.9 (2) and −86.1 (3)°, respectively]. The N—C—N bond angle on one side of the di­thio­glycoluril moiety is slightly smaller compared to that on the opposite side, [110.9 (2)° cf. 112.0 (2)°], probably as a result of the steric effect of the methyl group. In the crystal, N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds link adjacent mol­ecules to form chains propagating along the c-axis direction. The chains are linked by C—H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the bc plane. The layers are then linked by C—H⋯π inter­actions, leading to the formation of a three-dimensional supra­molecular network. Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots were used to investigate the mol­ecular inter­actions in the crystal.

The title compound, C18H16N4O, consists of a 3,6-bis­(pyridin-2-yl)pyridazine moiety linked to a 4-[(prop-2-en-1-yl­oxy)meth­yl] group. The pyridine-2-yl rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 17.34 (4)° and are rotated slightly out of the plane of the pyridazine ring. In the crystal, C—HPyrd⋯NPyrdz (Pyrd = pyridine and Pyrdz = pyridazine) hydrogen bonds and C—HPrp­oxy⋯π (Prp­oxy = prop-2-en-1-yl­oxy) inter­actions link the mol­ecules, forming deeply corrugated layers approximately parallel to the bc plane and stacked along the a-axis direction. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (48.5%), H⋯C/C⋯H (26.0%) and H⋯N/N⋯H (17.1%) contacts, hydrogen bonding and van der Waals inter­actions being the dominant inter­actions in the crystal packing. Computational chemistry indicates that in the crystal, the C—HPyrd⋯NPyrdz hydrogen-bond energy is 64.3 kJ mol−1. Density functional theory (DFT) optimized structures at the B3LYP/6–311 G(d,p) level are compared with the experimentally determined mol­ecular structure in the solid state. The HOMO–LUMO behaviour was elucidated to determine the energy gap.

The sterically hindered silicon compound 2-methyl-1,1,2,3,3-penta­phenyl-2-sila­propane, C33H30Si (I), was prepared via the reaction of two equivalents of di­phenyl­methyl­lithium (benzhydryllithium) and di­chloro­methyl­phenyl­silane. This bis­benzhydryl-substituted silicon compound was then reacted with tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonic acid, followed by hydrolysis with water to give the silanol 2-methyl-1,1,3,3-tetra­phenyl-2-silapropan-2-ol, C27H26OSi (II). Key geometric features for I are the Si—C bond lengths that range from 1.867 (2) to 1.914 (2) Å and a τ4 descriptor for fourfold coordination around the Si atom of 0.97 (indicating a nearly perfect tetra­hedron). Key geometric features for compound II include Si—C bond lengths that range from 1.835 (4) to 1.905 (3) Å, a Si—O bond length of 1.665 (3) Å, and a τ4 descriptor for fourfold coordination around the Si atom of 0.96. In compound II, there is an intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond present. In the crystal of I, mol­ecules are linked by two pairs of C—H⋯π inter­actions, forming dimers that are linked into ribbons propagating along the b-axis direction. In the crystal of II, mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯π and O—H⋯π inter­actions that result in the formation of ribbons that run along the a-axis direction.

The solid-state structures of the salts of two substituted tryptamines, namely N-isopropyl-N-methyl­tryptaminium (MiPT) fumarate {systematic name: [2-(1H-indol-3-yl)eth­yl](meth­yl)propan-2-yl­aza­nium 3-carb­oxy­prop-2-enoate}, C14H21N2+·C4H3O4−, and 4-hy­droxy-N-isopropyl-N-methyl­tryptaminium (4-HO-MiPT) fumarate monohydrate {systematic name: [2-(4-hy­droxy-1H-indol-3-yl)eth­yl](meth­yl)propan-2-yl­aza­nium 3-carb­oxy­prop-2-enoate monohydrate}, C14H21N2O+·C4H3O4−·H2O, are reported. Both salts possess a proton­ated tryptammonium cation and a 3-carb­oxy­acrylate (hydrogen fumarate) anion in the asymmetric unit; the 4-HO-MiPT structure also contains a water mol­ecule of crystallization. Both cations feature disorder of the side chain over two orientations, in a 0.630 (3):0.370 (3) ratio for MiPT and a 0.775 (5):0.225 (5) ratio for 4-HO-MiPT. In both extended structures, N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate infinite two-dimensional networks.

The title chalcone derivative, C19H20O5, adopts a trans configuration with respect to the olefinic C=C double bond. The 2-hy­droxy-4-methyl­phenyl ring is coplanar with the attached enone bridge [torsion angle = −179.96 (14)°], where this plane is nearly perpendicular to the 2,4,6-tri­meth­oxy­phenyl ring [dihedral angle = 75.81 (8)°]. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked into chains propagating along [010] by an O—H⋯O hydrogen bond. These chains are further connected into centrosymmetric dimer chains via weak C—H⋯O inter­actions. The conformations of related chalcone derivatives are surveyed and all of these structures adopt a skeleton with two almost orthogonal aromatic rings.

The structure of the title compound, C32H51NO6, was determined from 62-year-old crystals at room temperature and refined with 100 K data in a monoclinic (C2) space group. This compound with a triterpenoid structure, now confirmed by this study, played an important role in the determination of the structure of lanosterol. The mol­ecules pack in linear O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonded chains along the short axis (b), while parallel chains display weak van der Waals inter­actions that explain the needle-shaped crystal morphology. The structure exhibits disorder of the flexible methyl­heptane chain at one end of the main mol­ecule with a small void around it. Crystals of the compounds were resistant to data collection for decades with the available cameras and Mo Kα radiation single-crystal diffractometer in our laboratory until a new instrument with Cu Kα radiation operating at 100 K allowed the structure to be solved and refined.

The synthesis, crystal structure and structural motif of two thio­phene-based cyano­acrylate derivatives, namely, ethyl (E)-2-cyano-3-(3-methyl­thio­phen-2-yl)acrylate (1), C11H11NO2S, and ethyl (E)-2-cyano-3-(thio­phen-2-yl)acrylate (2), C10H9NO2S, are reported. Derivative 1 crystallized with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, and derivative 2 represents a new monoclinic (C2/m) polymorph. The mol­ecular conformations of 1 and the two polymorphs of 2 are very similar, as all non-H atoms are planar except for the methyl of the ethyl groups. The inter­molecular inter­actions and crystal packing of 1 and 2 are described and compared with that of the reported monoclinic (C2/m) polymorph of derivative 2 [Castro Agudelo et al. (2017). Acta Cryst. E73, 1287–1289].
